These are no ordinary brunch cocktails

Getting bored with the same old mimosa and bloody mary for brunch? Looking for something different to spice up your weekend routine?

San Diego restaurants have heard your call for inventive and interesting cocktails and answered with a variety of options. So get ready brunch fanatics, here are some of your delicious local choices this weekend:

Breakfast Republic

Those in need of some antioxidant power (read: detox from your 1 a.m. shot contest) can get a boost at Breakfast Republic (2730 University Ave., North Park. breakfastrepublicca.com) with a range of organic antioxidant shots, or go halfway healthy with the Summer Breeze, made with vodka, their Tropical Detox shot, muddled blueberries and raspberries, lemon, orgeat and club soda.

Kindred

At South Park hotspot Kindred (1503 30th St, South Park. barkindred.com), look past the "brunch cocktails" and go straight for their regular selections.

A yummy array of nonalcoholic concoctions include the Kiss of Steel with cold brew coffee, vanilla almond milk, cinnamon, coconut and an orange twist; and my favorite, the Black Magic Punch, with black currant kombucha, orange juice, ginger and blackberries.

For those needing their caffeine fix with a dose of hair of the dog, try The Spice Must Flow, with blanco tequila, green chili vodka, lime, orgeat and cold brew coffee.

Leroy's

Brunching across the bridge in
Coronado
? Stop at local favorite Leroy's (1015 Orange Ave., Coronado. leroyskitchenandlounge.com) for eats and your coffee-cocktail with the Cold Brew Old Fashioned, made with Buffalo Trace, WestBean cold brew, vanilla and orange.

Stay tuned for my lineup of the city's best twists on the beloved mimosa coming soon. Do you have a favorite unique brunch cocktail you'd like to share? Let us know in the comments below.
